If it's not a sketch, then most of my work has a lot of planning. This one is based on several photo's I've madeof the farm and the background. First I make several composition-sketches (for example, it started with a standing image, and gradually I added more of the farm and it bcame a square). After that I copy the sketch on a xeroxmachine at the right size and take it over on, in this case, watercolor paper and finish it in pencil. And than scanning and coloring in photoshop...

It was a kind of a test, a pencil-drawing colored in photoshop. Usually it's something you do with watercolor, with the risk you mess-up the original drawing.It was not so easy as I thought, but it worked quite well after some testing.
